The new Wittpenn Bridge, a $480 million replacement vertical-lift bridge is the state’s first orthotropic bridge deck, a lightweight structural steel deck plate featuring longitudinal ribs and transverse floor beams under a wearing-surface covered steel plate. The reduced need for concrete in this orthotropic design increases structural efficiency and service life. The bridge carries Route 7 over the Hackensack River, connecting Kearny and Jersey City.
AEIS’ inspection and testing team applied welding and non-destructive testing (NDT) expertise on this project to determine the quality and compliance of project materials and activities in reference to approved specifications, standards, and codes. AEIS’ in-house, state-of-the-art engineering materials laboratory was utilized on this project to determine quality and service-life outcomes for project materials. AEIS' digital reporting system streamlined communication methods to keep project teams informed on inspection and testing status.
